My first new topic - wish me luck
Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 produced two groups: a girlband and a boyband. Girls Aloud's first track "Sound of the Underground" was the first from a female group to debut at number 1 in the UK AND the first to get a Christmas number 1 with their first single. The boyband One True Voice were complete rubbish and sunk without a trace
Poor guys, they never stood a chance!
Girls Aloud are still going strong and have got better as time goes by in my opinion. Their music is well produced and each track is quite varied. My personal favourite is "Love Hate" from "Sound Of The Underground".
Their manager is Louis Walsh. I really hate the bloke but I suppose he does a good job.
